The Naked Week: Ep1. Lobbying, art, soup, and farms
The Skewer's Jon Holmes, host Andrew Hunter Murray, chief correspondent Amy Hoggart, and The Naked Week team deliver a topical news-nude straight to your ears.
The team look at the week's news and pull back the curtain on the dark arts of lobbying. Plus, to draw attention to climate change, an art critic throws Michelangelo's David at a pyramid of tomato soup tins. It's like Just Stop Oil's tactics, but in reverse.
The Skewer’s Jon Holmes comes The Naked Week, a fresh way of dressing the week’s news in the altogether and parading it around for everyone to laugh at. Host Andrew Hunter Murray and chief correspondent Amy Hoggart strip away the curtain and dive into not only the big stories, but also the way the news is packaged and presented.
From award-winning writers and a crack team of contemporary satirists - and recorded in front of a live audience - The Naked Week delivers a topical news nude straight to your ears.
